Former Love Island contestant Rosie Williams has backed ITV bosses to change their aftercare procedures for the show.

Speaking on The Jeremy Vine Show during a discussion about The Jeremy Kyle Show being axed, Rosie said she was left 'on her own' after six months, admitting she would have benefited from being made to see a psychologist to speak about her anxieties.

Rosie, who is a trained solicitor, went on to say that she doesn't believe Love Island should be cancelled, but does want the mental health of contestants to be 'properly considered' before and after the show.

She said: "I feel the after care could be looked into a bit more. For me it took me about six to 12 months to fully adjust into this new lifestyle.

"I’ve been catapulted into a world where everyone knows who I am and this they can have an opinion on me.

"I feel if I was forced to see a psychologist every month I could benefit on speaking about my anxieties and my worries and work through them with her.

"A lot of people who are suffering from anxiety and mental health are the people who don’t actually talk about it willingly."

Rosie also revealed that she has not yet returned to her day job, and is still adjusting to life post Love Island.

"As soon as you come out of this show, for the first six months you're complete busy. It’s great. It’s a new experience and you’re adapting to it and enjoying it", she said.

"But as well, from six to 12 months, you’re sort of on your own. The new Love Island is coming on soon. You’re adjusting to normal life again, or the new norm as it would be. That's where your emotions will really test you."

Rosie was best known in the villa for her fiery relationship with Adam Collard, which ended when he chose new girl Zara over Rosie.

She also backed the decision to cancel The Jeremy Kyle Show after the death of guest Steve Dymond and believes it shows it is 'being taken seriously'.

She addressed the after care process of the show by saying:

"I just think the after care and analysis beforehand needs to be properly thought out and properly considered because it's down to the person themselves and whether they can cope with certain aspects of each show."

Following the deaths of former Love Island contestants Sophie Gradon and Mike Thalassitis in the past 12 months, ITV announce it would be upping its care procedures to include therapy, social media training and financial management, to ensure Islanders felt safe and comfortable throughout filming as well as back in the UK.
